Jupiter is on average about 484 million miles (778 million kilometers) from the Sun, which is roughly 5.2 times the Earth–Sun distance.

Quick Scoop

  • Average distance: About 484 million miles (778 million km) from the Sun.
  • In astronomical units: Roughly 5.2 AU (1 AU = average Earth–Sun distance).
  • Closest point (perihelion): Around 460–461 million miles (about 741 million km).
  • Farthest point (aphelion): Around 508 million miles (about 817 million km).

Because Jupiter’s orbit is slightly elliptical, the distance isn’t fixed; it oscillates between those closest and farthest values as the planet travels around the Sun.
